The House of Representatives has reiterated its determination to pass the State Police Bill on Thursday as part of legislative efforts aimed at tackling the escalating security crisis across the country.

Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu made this known on Wednesday while speaking to members of the House of Representatives Press Corps in Abuja on behalf of the 37 caucus leaders in the Green Chamber.

Kalu stated the proposed constitutional amendment seeking the creation of state police had become necessary due to the rising cases of terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and other forms of violent criminal activities threatening national security.
